-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Police in Jackson , Mississippi , have prepared an arrest warrant for former television host Gary Collins for leaving the scene of an accident , police spokesman Colendula Green told CNN .

Officers were called to the scene Monday afternoon but when police arrived , only one of the parties involved was there .

The victim `` had been stopped at a red light and was rear-ended by a white Jeep , driven by Gary Collins , '' Green said .

Collins ' lawyer , Tom Royals , said his client had gotten out of his vehicle , examined the accident , and exchanged information with the driver of the other car .

After calling the police , Collins left because he had been waiting for some time and he thought he had done all that was required , Royals said .

`` The other party knew his information , '' Royals said . `` And in fact Collins knew someone in the car . They talked a while and then he left . ''

Green agreed that the ex-actor had provided his contact information but said Jackson Police have cited Collins for leaving the scene of an accident , a misdemeanor . Police are waiting to execute the arrest warrant once a judge signs off on it .

The other driver is pressing charges , Green said .

`` It was not a serious accident , '' Royals said . `` It was really just a minor fender-bender . ''

Collins is known for being a TV and radio personality , and is married to former Miss America Mary Anne Mobley . As an actor , he is known his role in the television series `` The Sixth Sense , '' and `` The Wackiest Ship in the Army . ''
